Dry cleaning

Dry cleaning is especially important for carpets of some value.

For the treatment of a partial stain: If your carpet has just been stained (by wine for example), you must immediately:

Blot the stain with absorbent paper
Then sprinkle with earth from the springs of the periphery of the stain towards its center, so as to prevent the stain from spreading. Do not rub, allow the powder to act on the spot for a few hours at least.Vacuum the next morning, using the vacuum cleaner brush nozzle.

After suction after one night and if localized spots persist, you can mix a small cup of hot water with 2 large spoons of baking soda then soak a sponge with this mixture and rub lightly on the stain for a few minutes, Always from the periphery towards the inside of the spot (to prevent it from spreading).

Little grandmother’s tip: sprinkle the tea leaves (after being used but still wet) and then suck the next morning. The result is guaranteed to eliminate stubborn odors.

Other tips to remember

In the first instance, we advise you to start with a dry cleaning for your carpet.
Well read the instructions of the products used for cleaning!
Before cleaning a carpet with a liquid product, always make a test in a corner to see if the colors are stable (the carpets sold in the West have the colors less fixed than those of the real oriental carpets).
When treating a localized spot, begin by spraying from the perimeter to the center, to avoid the stain spreading, or privilege a complete cleaning of the carpet to avoid this kind of inconvenience!
Do not wash your carpet at large water because it will have a hard time drying afterwards.
If you are using a steam cleaner, try washing your carpet only with water vapor (no cleaning solution) by wiping dirt from the carpet with a clean cloth. It’s more green and less aggressive for the fibers of your carpet 😉!
